Bosses are banning glitter after they realised it was made of microplastics particles

Managing director Cheryl Hadland said the thousands of nurseries across the country would be “doing terrible damage” as glitter was blown off cards.

She said: “I’ve been running the nurseries for 27 years and I had no idea we were doing all that damage. Glitter is lovely, shiny, twinkly stuff but when we’re wrecking the environment we really can’t be doing it.”

The Marine Conservation Society backed the ban, saying it was “part of the microplastic load getting into the sea”.
